Art and fashion collide in this unique event set in the heart of the Burrell Collection where the museum becomes the runway. Gain an exclusive first look at designs by rising star fashion designer Flora McFarlane, nestled amongst the artefacts that inspired her collection. The evening culminates with a chance to explore the Burrell Collection after dark, and chat with the curators and conservators who research and care for the collection.

About Flora McFarlane

Specialising in knitwear and tailoring, Flora McFarlane is a young Scottish designer whose fashion is inspired by heritage textiles, craft, and environment.

Return to the Garden takes inspiration from the 9,000 art treasures within The Burrell's Collection. 'The Garden' forms the underlying narrative, a universal theme that unites cultures. This theme appears in objects from painting to porcelain across the museum’s collection, which was acquired during Glasgow’s wealthy 19th-century industrial past. Traces of this past survive in the city’s grand architecture and industrial heritage, now crumbling and being reclaimed by nature, alongside the innovation and ambition of Glasgow’s present day creative industries.

Collaborating with Scottish manufacturers, MYB Textiles and The Scottish Leather Group, as well as jewellery designer Kyle Ferguson, the project unites heritage craftsmanship with contemporary design, celebrating the past, present, and future of Scottish fashion through sustainability, historic reference and storytelling.
